It's your car, but I can't wait for you to get it and get it up and running. Quick question, do you remember the part numbers for the ARP hardware you have? I want to start gather parts for this block. Do you have any good spare parts?
Who's ready for some 3800 power?!

Go on to Intense racing and they have them all listed for good prices.
Thanks, sorry for all duplicate post.
Oh yeah, I know what you mean about trying to work on a car inside an oven (aka the garage).haha It's been up to 115 degrees for many days in Vegas. I look forward to hearing about how your new speed density system is working, too.

You might have posted this in the thread, but are you using the stock balancer?

You should be able to click for a big pic of these. This will give you a good idea on what I did. The ps was clocked and has a modified bracket. but its straight forward .

Yes its a stock fbody single row balancer machine down to accept the puck or spacer then using the double row crankbolt. It has a crank pulley off a astrovan v6. Have run a underdrive pulley but didnt like it.

Yes , bungs will be here tomorrow . Will work out great.
Sweet. I'm spending so much money on my GN to get to the low 10s, that it will be a while before I will be able to even think about a 3800 s2 build.
Anyway, I'm up here in S.E. MI and I'm having trouble dealing with the heat while working on my car. Don't know how you can handle it in Houston.

Wiring done for dominator. What a pain lol.Plus just got a nice set of ported and polished heads with severe duty Manley valves that I couldn't pass up along with hartland sharp rockers and intense 3/8 pushrods. So the build morphs again. I wanted to get a base line with the stock heads but heck with it. Putting everything together and turning up the wick. This thing will really fly.
Not to change the subject, but didn't you use to have another car with a 3.8L stage II motor?
Glad to see you're almost ready. Well I have a 3800 machined block and I have another 3800 long block that a guy is giving to me and I'm going to try and use the crank and a few other parts off it. You ever see someone build an engine before they even have a car. You've provided so much information and a great blue print to help others who want to work on this project.
